Firestone Union Jack IPA

Firestone makes some pretty respectable beers, so I was expecting something big from this IPA.  At 7.5% abv it is right up there with some big hop brews.

The beer poured a dark golden brown with a good head.  The aroma was pretty malty, which was a turn off for me.  The taste was pretty disappointing with way too much malt for an IPA.  It was an ok beer, but if the bottle didn't say IPA I would have guessed it was something else.

If you like a good malt flavor, you should try this, but if you want big hops don't bother.

I give it 3 out of 5 hops.
